this is a fundamental issue about the civic duty that americans have along with their civil rights. so there is a second amendment, providing that the americans have the right to bear arms. and at the same time it has the language that the right to bear arms comes along with the civic duties. and that means we have to have responsible, reasonable laws. it doesn't mean that all people can own all sorts of guns. so why do you get the pushback from democrats? i think the simple answer is because there is a lot of money in assault weapons. and that money carries with it enormous, power with the lobbyists, and that shows up in republican and democratic offices. the pressure to allow gun manufacturers and dealers putting the guns on the street to continue to make the profits they want to make is an enormous pressure on republicans and democrats alike. and it will only change when the americans' feelings are stronger than that. >> in your article on melissa's point, you point out house republicans that are in certain states, 12 members in new jersey and new york. 13 pennsylvania, 44 more f
